The Museum of Science and Industry is such a fun place for your senses. This is one example: your eyes are just overwhelmed by the proximity of the planes hanging (more like floating) from the ceiling.

mirror maze
The best part of this afternoon’s visit to the Museum of Science and Industry was the mirror maze! It was totally disorienting, put you in an insecure, tenuous mode and, was sooooooo fun!!
cloud city
For a few moments it did seem like we were in cloud city! The Oculus looks out of place from this height.
the oculus 1
Oculus: 1. an eye. 2. Architecture. a circular opening, especially one at the apex of a dome.
It is a stunning space. This is the first of a few images from my time in Lower Manhattan.
wtc transportation hub
The World Trade Center Transportation Hub seems to a bit out of place amidst the shiny, modern buildings in Lower Manhattan. It sort of looks like a gigantic stegosaurus skeleton that was unearthed during construction. Here is an image taken inside the hub.
In old New York
This is one of the spectacular views from the One World Observatory located in One World Trade Center in New York. It took less than 47 seconds for the video-screens-for-walls elevator to soar 102 stories!
on the way to maggie daley park
This is what you see on your way to Maggie Daley Park from Millennium Park.
Minooka Community High School Marching Band
My son plays marimba in the Minooka Community High School Marching Band and, each year the band marches in the Grundy County Corn Festival Parade. This was taken as they marched in front of the grandstand for judging. Very proud of all these hard working, amazingly talented students!!
maggie daley park
Or, the title could be, “Where’s Waldo?” – or – “Where is my wife Ruth?” (She is actually in this image!). What a fun park!!!
chicago skyline
Well, actually, this is just a small portion of the Chicago skyline. This image was taken from the amazing Maggie Daley Park looking back towards Millennium Park. (Click here and here for a couple of my images of Maggie Daley Park.) You can see the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in the lower center portion of the image. I am a New Yorker at heart, but it is really hard to beat the majesty of Chicago and, the beauty of the vast green space and urban playground of Grant Park, Millennium Park and, Maggie Daley Park. Bravo Chicago!
